Hello,

I am presently putting in place a proof of concept of Splunk Enterprise. I'm trying to access a Microsoft SQL 2008R2 server with the DB Connect addons, The conection seems to work because I see my database list and select one. When I just want to make a select on a table to extract the data, here is the error that I get:

Error in 'dbxquery' command: External search command exited unexpectedly with non-zero error code 255.

Thank you for your help.

|dbxquery connection="$ConnectionName$" shortnames=t query="SELECT * FROM $Database.Schema.Table$"
